          Spin your hypocritical BS however you want, but save it for the ignorant that follow it.

          This pretty much sums it up:

          " However, Hinkle is the player who declined to play on the national team last year because she is a devout Christian and the U.S. wore rainbow-colored numbers on their jerseys to celebrate Pride Month. For her, it was a choice of conscience and faith. For many in the LGBTQ community, and elsewhere, it was a disgraceful show of homophobia. There was debate in the soccer community about whether she would ever get another shot at the national team, and Hinkle herself accepted that her decision may cost her a childhood dream.

          On July 18, however, she got a call-up. And the reaction was fierce.

          “Kick Her Off” screamed one Slate headline. “By giving Jaelene Hinkle a roster spot, U.S. Soccer sold out its LGBTQ fans and players for a better shot at the Women’s World Cup.” It went on to accuse head coach Jill Ellis, who is married to a woman, of “compromising the unity that’s essential for any good team and snubbing a not-insignificant segment of their customer base.”

            Screw the left. They can all go suck it. Intolerant communist snowflakes. Head coach is gay. Number of teammates are gay. She plays for and with them with no problem. Told to wear a jersey that celebrates something her religion says is a sin, and she politely declines... exercising her constitutionally protected right to religions freedom. What does the left do? Demand her expulsion from the team.

            Can't wait for 2020, when Trump wins another election and all the snowflakes lose there head again...

                Seems pretty straightforward, pun intended.

                  For forever gay athletes are shunned and harassed and she can't even step up for one month to wear a shirt with a message that gay players have every right to participate?

                    Beliefs are beliefs, and while I personally have no issue, I also will respect one's wishes. If she didn't want to wear the shirt as it supports a message her beliefs don't allow, then fine. She quietly, and respectfully, declined.

                    The bigger concern is that she is now shamed for following her beliefs. That should scare the crap out of anyone.

                      Why does she have to?

                        Her beliefs are that gay athletes are not her equal?

                            The shirt is not saying she dies not believe that homosexuality is sinful.

                            It is saying homosexuals are equal.

                              Are they? As I understand it, they don't support a lifestyle. She quietly held her beliefs to herself, true to her conviction. I admire that in anyone.
